When numbering double bonds, you need to number both carbons in the double bond consecutively. Therefore, carbon atoms 1 and 2 in the ring will be two of the carbons involved in one of the double bonds (for this problem specifically, you would want to start with the carbon in the double bond with th...

AlCl3 is an electrophile particularly because the Al is electron deficient and needs more electrons.

You're not wrong, the arrow looks as if the single bond is the area of electron abundance. However, the Cl is the nucleophile in the Friedal Crafts Alkylation and is attacking the electron deficient Al in AlCl3.

Have you heard about the chemist who read a book about helium?

They couldn’t put it down

Can someone explain why temperature doesn't change the rate very much if a reaction has a low activation energy?

Rachel Hunsucker 3L

Because if you add two of the same reaction, you won't get double the cell potential, which violates the definition of a state function.

Q: What do you do with a dead chemist?

A: Barium

Rachel Hunsucker 3L

When balancing the half reactions, why do you not double the cell potential when you multiply an equation by 2? I know we aren't supposed to, but can someone explain why we don't?

Under what circumstances does q=△H?

You want to convert it to Joules!

Is it possible for an acid/base to be strong in one reaction but weak in another?

Rachel Hunsucker 3L

So we don't need to convert from bars to a different unit? If so to what unit?

Rachel Hunsucker 3L

Yes because ligands represent ions binding to the central atom which forms a coordination complex.

A bond order of 0 means that the molecule is unstable and does not exist.

Rachel Hunsucker 3L

The best way to go about that would be to add another bond such as a double bond or a triple bond and take away a lone pair or vice-versa.

Are Boron and Aluminum the only elements involved in Lewis Acid-Base reactions?

Rachel Hunsucker 3L

Since you are dividing 40.9 g, which has three sig figs, by the mass of Carbon, you would use 12.01 rather than 12.011 because 12.01 also has three sig figs.
